The winner




Troubadour was the bull's name who Chris Shivers picked to ride for the finals. He had only been riden 4 out of 18 times in his career. Tonight makes 5. For less than a total of 20 seconds actually riding the bull Chris won the event in Glendale tonight. He was awarded $24,500! There was only one casualty in the 3 hour event, one poor guy was thrown off and broke his ankle. I had a good time and the announcer was hilarious.
P.S. There were people sitting inside that circle in the middle of the ring.

Congrats to Chris! I haven't been to a rodeo in probably near 20 years!

So this is something we should all try at least once?
